[QUOTE="oltmann, post: 133453, member: 6377"] I have never heard of this 'tenon spring' issue that Wild Bill has brought up. Is this a common occurance? The standard shank savage is 1.055 and the rem700 is 1.0625. I think 7.5 thousandths difference in diameter is close enough to say they have comparable strength. For reference the large shank savage is 1.12 diameter. I have not seen a published reason for this increase in diamter for the short mag and ultra mag rifles. I'm sure it does offer a better margin of safety over the standard shank or remington sized tenon. I'm currently working on a savage in 338-300 RUM, based on a standard shank savage 110. I don't plan to load near maximum for this cartridge, but I will let everyone know if I run into any problems. [/QUOTE]
